King's Quest Fan Game Saved

Hopes that the once-cancelled fan-created King's Quest game The Silver Lining might be saved turn out to have come true, as Phoenix Online Studios announces an agreement with Activision to release the ambitious project for free in episodic form, with episode one, "What is Decreed Must Be," to be released on July 10. The Silver Lining Website is now online, and here's word: "In The Silver Lining, players will assume the role of King Graham as he sets out on a quest to save his children, Rosella and Alexander, from a mysterious curse. The episodes will be released as free downloads from www.tsl-game.com."
